The hostess was very nice and helpful. She always gave us good tips for our excursions. The room was large and very clean. The breakfast room had a great view of the greenery, the breakfast was very good with yogurt and fresh fruit. We were able to park our car on the premises.

Warm and friendly welcome; bright structure located in a green area with ample parking; spacious room that could be improved in comfort; great breakfast area, with a decent variety of foods and drinks. Not very easy to locate the narrow access road, but the manager was very helpful in providing directions. Definitely worth a return visit.

antonino

Beautiful structure, friendly and very nice owners. If we return to Sicily, we will pass by here. Small suggestion: the room was perfect but to make it special in my opinion you should add a hairdryer, otherwise everything perfect.

Immersed in the greenery, very welcoming and equipped with every comfort. Debora is very nice and knows how to give advice on everything: places to visit, characteristic routes to take, where to eat, where to park, etc. Massimo is very kind and organizes breakfasts for all tastes, with a lot of variety. Their apricot jam is delicious. B&B Villa Lidia highly recommended!

Great property, easily accessible by car or train. Impeccable room cleanliness and abundant breakfast. B&B Villa Lidia is nestled in the greenery and is a little corner of paradise. The owner deserves an excellent review, friendly and cordial person. High professionalism. We will definitely return.

The owners of the property are very sociable people and ready for whatever is needed, strategic structure for those who want a beautiful sea nearby and still want to visit enchanting places like Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorges, Taormina.

We stayed 1 night after attending a concert in Acireale, very welcoming, clean and spacious location, probably great in the summer given the garden and the outdoor canopy. Manager very helpful and kind, price quite reasonable.

stayed from 03/10/2018 to 03/11/2018

andrea

The owners are very kind and helpful, we had a problem with the rental car and they came to pick us up at the airport at 23:00. Apparently the place is "out of the way", but in reality the location is strategic and close to the main roads and attractions. Also, there is a train station 300m away that we used to visit Catania and Taormina without the stress of parking or traffic. I recommend everyone to try the fish dinner they offer, truly special! Excellent facility, I recommend it and would gladly return!

Grazie Andrea, noi saremo felicissimi di rivedervi, vi auguriamo una bella vita. Debora e Massimo.

We had a great time during the two days of our stay. Debora welcomed us with great sympathy and kindness and gave us many useful tips. The place is very nice, in a quiet location, with a beautiful garden, private parking. A strategic starting point for visiting destinations: Etna, Catania and surroundings, Taormina, etc. Highly recommended.

Ciao Luca, grazie per la bella recensione, a me e Massimo ha fatto molto piacere che vi siate trovati bene e ci auguriamo di rivedervi presto. Tante belle cose, Debora e Massimo.

mariaemanuela

Wonderful place. Firstly, a well-kept, managed and clean property with ample private parking. The owners are two exquisite, sunny and easy-going people. They are there ready to help you with anything, to suggest places to visit or where to eat. The rooms are spacious, large, well-furnished and clean. The bathrooms are big, especially the nice spacious showers. The beds are comfortable and wide. The outdoor space is large, furnished with tables, chairs, and a ping pong table. Breakfast is rich, abandoned with milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice, donuts, biscuits, yogurt, butter, jams. A stay, in short, like a fairy tale. We will return because it is a little oasis to relax and also enjoy the beautiful sea nearby.

stayed from 08/06/2016 to 08/07/2016

The answer from the host:
Grazie Marie Emanuela, quanti bei complimenti, è bello lavorare per persone come voi. Ci vediamo presto, un abbraccio, Debora.

Very nice room in an equally beautiful environment. The owner was very welcoming. Private car parking. Not far away are coves in Stazzo, crystal clear water. I recommend this place in every way.

We have just returned from our holiday in Sicily and our stay at B&B Villa Lidia. The car journey was long and stressful but it was worth it. The apartment is really nice, functional, and tastefully decorated, but the highlight is definitely the wonderful panoramic terrace. Waking up in the morning surrounded by greenery and sea view is priceless. The area is strategic for reaching beautiful and famous places in a short time, as well as other small gems that the owners Debora and Massimo were able to recommend, being available, friendly, and very nice. An experience definitely worth repeating!

rita

I stayed at B&B Villa Lidia for a wedding. I found the place through the internet. I really liked it for the welcome, the structure, and the location. I travel a lot and this place pleasantly surprised me, for the attention to detail, the care spent on the use of materials. I stayed in the suite with a splendid terrace. I hope to come back soon, also because of the proximity to Catania airport and to visit this part of Sicily that I do not know. Thank you, keep it up!

stayed from 07/04/2015 to 07/05/2015

The answer from the host:
Grazie a te Rita, speriamo presto di rivederti. Cordiali saluti, Debora.

rita

We have just returned from a holiday in Sicily, staying for the first few days in this peaceful structure immersed in greenery where we felt very comfortable. We appreciated the family-like yet discreet hospitality of the managers who welcomed us exquisitely, pampering us in the morning with a plentiful breakfast served in the shade of a walnut tree in the garden, where a cellar is being set up to taste Sicilian wines and typical products. Excellent value for money and convenient location for visiting both seaside resorts and the inland.

stayed from 06/20/2015 to 06/23/2015

The answer from the host:
Grazie Rita, siamo molto lusingati quando i nostri ospiti restano soddisfatti della nostra ospitalità. Speriamo di rivederti presto per farti degustare un po del nostro vino, saluti, Debora e Massimo.

giacomo

The first impact passing through that narrow street makes you puzzled, but as soon as you arrive and are welcomed, you understand that it's a shame to stay there for just one night, quiet place, comfortable, modern apartment, tasteful, nothing is missing, from the kitchen to the laundry, many essential and comfortable wardrobes, with a panoramic terrace to change your mind on how to spend the evening, (excellent choice to take the seasoned bread in the nearby village and enjoy it comfortably on the terrace) convenient parking too, the path passing through the cellar is suggestive (they are defining it, but it promises to be a real chic place).

stayed from 05/23/2015 to 05/24/2015

The answer from the host:
Grazie Giacomo, una bella famiglia. La cantina è prossima all'apertura. Speriamo di rivederci presto, saluti, Debora.
